About this map

The Colorado River defines the landscape of this Wharton County region, winding through a patchwork of agricultural lands and drainage systems. The small community of Glen Flora serves as a central point, with streets like Elm St and Pecan St reflecting the local flora. To the southeast, the settlement of Mackay is situated near the Mackay Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in the area.

Water management is prominent across the quadrangle, evidenced by the intricate network of the Baughman Slough, Peach Cr, and the E Fork Jones Cr. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Wharton Regional Airport and the transition of older routes like FM 102 Rd and FM 960. The map also illustrates smaller locales such as Sorrelle and the distinct geography of Northington Lake, showing how the river's path has shaped the settlement patterns of this Texas coastal plain.
